I am pasting and enclosing the conference brochure + nomination form.

...and please also pass it on to others who you think will find this of interest.
thanks

ps: we are also looking for sponsors - so any help on this front would be most welcome


The Purpose

· To showcase innovative social entrepreneurship ventures by individual entrepreneurs, NGOs, corporates, and government agencies

· To provide a common platform for sharing experiences, issues and concerns.

The Theme
One common theme that cuts across diverse social entrepreneurial ventures is their aim to create a more sustainable and equitable society. Social entrepreneurs achieve this by innovating solutions which make available the societal resources (education, energy, credit, healthcare, livelihood opportunities, market-linkages, etc.) to those who lack access to these. Correspondingly, proposed theme for the Conference is:

The Social Entrepreneurship Conference is designed across 6 sessions over two days, each dealing with the "access" issue, viz.:

· Access to Credit & Financial Services

· Access to Education

· Access to Healthcare & Hygiene

· Access to Livelihood Opportunities

· Access to Market, and

· Rural Access to Societal Resources

In addition, the Conference will also provide an interactive platform/workshop for the delegates to share their work, concerns and issue, and arrive at collaborative solutions.
